Q:how fast will the bush grow
by|May 3, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Butterfly bush is known for its rapid growth, up to two feet in height per year or more. It can reach its mature size in just one or two growing seasons. This shrub option is low maintenance, only requiring annual pruning in late winter to encourage spring blooms and maintain a compact shape. Prune in spring, after the new growth emerges. The warmer your climate, the more you should cut back your butterfly bush each spring. Left unpruned, large butterfly bushes can become “second story” plants: their flowers form way up at the top so you can’t enjoy them unless you have a second-story window.

        Q:I understand, this time of year the bush will not have any leaves or flowers and will ship as pictured, bare. Does this lose all leaves and flowers each year in the off season from November - April?

        Answer This Question

        A:  I think it depends where you are located. In northern FL it does NOT lose all of its leaves.

          A:  Mine does.

          by|Dec 12, 2022

            A:  Hello, thank you for contacting us. We are happy to help! Our Blue Chip Jr goes into dormancy during the cold months (usually November-April depending on where you live) meaning it will lose its foliage and blooms during that time. I hope this helps!

              Answer This Question

              A:  Hello, thank you for asking. We are happy to help! Our Proven Winners Lo and Behold 'Blue Chip Jr' thrives in zones 5-9. zone 10 would get a little too hot for it so we do not recommend planting it there. I hope this helps!

                half good,half bad
                Two of the four plants look healthy and ready to go. The other two should not have left the nursery. One attached leaf between them and its not like the fell off in transit I found just a few loose ones in the container. Terrible cost to benefit ratio.

                      I made the mistake of looking at this beautiful plant in the photo. These are tiny little plants for the price. Really Home Depot?

                          I have been very pleased with everything I've gotten from Proven Winners so far! Only had this bush in the pot for about 2 weeks, but it appears to be thriving! It is starting to flower now. Looks like it is going to be very fast grower too.

                              As much as I love the convenience of ordering online and ship to home.. these 3 plant purchases were an extreme disappointment. I have ordered plants this way previously and they showed up beautifully green and in bloom.. These did not.. hoping to get my money back, about 60.00 worth of mostly dead, dried up plants.

                                Great plant and Customer Service
                                I ordered two plants and they arrived healthy. Even though we were in the middle of a heatwave the plants were well watered and well packed prior to leaving the nursery as they arrived and the soil was not dry and the plants were healthy and some branches still had blooms. The plants were also a proper size— not small or anything.
